Playing for Beginners

1

Use the Right Club. Just like real golf, you get to use all 14 different clubs which are divided into several categories. Each category has different characteristics which must be learned to know each strengths and weaknesses of each.

Wood - Wood have 3 kinds of club. 1w can reach 230 distance, 2w reaches 210 distance and 3w reaches 190. Woods are best for long distance but suffer from poor accuracy and control.

Iron - Irons send your comet high into the sky. These clubs are accurate and easy to control. Commonly used for chip-ins. 4I have 160 distance, 5I have 150, 6I have 140, 7I have 130, 8I have 120 and 9I can reach 110 distance.

Wedge - These clubs will send your ball up at an even steeper rate than normal irons. Use them near the green or in the bunker. Also useful to get through any obstacle in the game. Wedge have 2 kinds of club, PW have 100 distance and SW have 80.

Putter - A putter is used almost exclusively on the green. Putter have 1 club which is PT with 40-30 distance.

2

Learn the Swing. After selecting a club and determining where the comet should land. Use the space bar or right mouse button to start and execute your swing. You will notice a bar moving towards the right, this determines the power level you want. For example, if you want the comet to and approximately 220y. Simply press spacebar to execute the swing then press spacebar again once the bar points at the exact distance you wanted.

To hit the comet, tap the space bar a third time when its on the white line between the pink bar. The closer you get to the white PangYa Bar the better you hit. If you land precisely on the PangYa bar, the ball will at its furthest and straightest.

Hitting PangYa good practice and timing. Players who play a couple of games find this easy as time passes. A high control and accuracy also helps in achieving a PangYa shot.

3

Use Putter for green. Woods and Irons are great at getting the comet to the green. You have to use a putter to move the comet onto the green. Once you reach the green, you will be able to see the distance between the ball and the golf hole. You will be able to see grin on the ground as well with dots. Use these dots to plan your putt. Therefore, if dots appear mostly on the left of the squares, aim your shot to the right.

You will also see the difference of the hit bar between the Iron and wood, and putter. In putter, you will be able to see a green mark, showing the distance between the ball and the hole. Note that the small dots on the hit bar indicate the slope of the green. If the dots are sloping up its means that you need to add more power than normal to reach the cup. If the dots are sloping down, you need to decrease the power. A dot in the middle indicates that the slop is flat.
